    In some cases, yes.

    I’ve run into probably half a dozen applications that request a reboot before installation, even if you just rebooted and the launcher was the first thing you ran.

    Usually older and very niche software. Business shit from the AS400 era, medical applications (including modern), not generally your standard stuff most people are installing.

      Ah, I was thinking that with anything modern I haven’t had that. Kernel needs a reboot, services can be restarted and apps just chug along until you restart them yourself
